Chapter 218: Brother-in-law
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The bodyguard stepped forward, pinned Qiao He to the ground, and started punching and kicking him. Qiao He howled and didn’t stop.
“Yueyue and I are truly in love. Even if you beat me to death, you can’t tear us apart.”
“You’re still stubborn. Continue beating him up,” Huo Zhou said angrily.
Qiao He curled up on the ground, hugging his crotch. “You can hit anywhere but not my crotch.”
The bodyguard turned to hit him in the face. He whimpered again. “You can’t hit me in the face. I’m an actor. I need my face intact.”
The bodyguard was at a loss. In the end, he greeted him.
Huo Zhou asked fiercely, “Let me ask you, do you still want to seduce my cousin?”
Qiao He knew better. He shook his head violently.
However, he argued stubbornly, “I can only promise not to seduce her, but if she takes the initiative to seduce me, then you can’t blame me.”
The more stubborn he was, the more he was punched.
Qiao He’s face was bruised and swollen, and his entire body was in pain. His pride had finally been wiped out, and he didn’t want to die in a misunderstanding.
In the end, he pleaded weakly with Huo Xiaoran, “President Huo, save me.”
Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “A lecher like you deserves to die.”
Qiao He begged for mercy. “Hey, how can you do this? You’re my brother-in-law after all. We’re brothers. How can you leave me in the lurch?”
“Brother-in-law?” Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were filled with confusion.
He immediately stopped the bodyguard. “Stop.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe bodyguard withdrew.
Huo Xiaoran walked to Qiao He’s side and looked down at him.
“Who’s your brother-in-law?” Huo Xiaoran asked.
“You,” Qiao He said, throwing caution to the wind.
He did not intend to continue hiding it from Huo Xiaoran because this lie would kill him.
Huo Xiaoran was extremely shocked. “I’m your brother-in-law?” he muttered to himself.
At this moment, a faint thought appeared in his heart. It was like the spring sun, making him look beautiful.
Seeing his stunned expression, Qiao He took the initiative to tell him. ” I’m not a two-timing scumbag. I only love Yueyue. As for Qiao An, she… she’s my cousin.”
This fact completely shocked Huo Xiaoran.
“Qiao An is your cousin?” he asked in disbelief. At that moment, his mind was in turmoil. The thoughts that had disheartened him suddenly disappeared.
Huo Zhou was also confused. He interrogated Qiao He, “Then why did you marry Qiao An?”
Qiao He said, “It was faked. We’re next of kin. How can we get married?”
“Then whose children are those?” Huo Xiaoran asked excitedly.
Qiao He sobered instantly.
The answer to this question involved the Qiao family’s incense offerings. If he sold the child out, the Qiao family’s ancestors might not let him go to hell.
Qiao He smiled awkwardly. He followed Qiao An’s lie closely. “Oh, the children are actually not my sister’s. After my sister and Li Zecheng divorced, she never remarried. How can there be children? They’re all relatives.”
A hint of disappointment appeared in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes.
But soon his mood brightened again.
He didn’t know what had come over him to hear that Qiao An hadn’t remarried. It was as if he’d eaten candy.
Then, he looked at Qiao He. For a moment, he didn’t find him detestable. Instead, he looked very amiable.
He held out his hand and his voice softened. “Can you still get up?”
Qiao He looked at Huo Xiaoran and secretly thought that if he had known that addressing him as his brother-in-law would be so useful, he should have done that earlier.
Qiao An used her tongue to persuade the bodyguards to let her and Xiao Yue out.
Seeing Qiao He covered in blood, Qiao An flew over with a pale face. She questioned Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou angrily, “How could you beat him up like this?”
Huo Xiaoran had never felt as guilty as he was now. He comforted Qiao An apologetically, “Qiao An, don’t worry. The bodyguards are all gentle. Your brother only has superficial wounds.”
Two words echoed in Qiao An’s ears. Your brother, your brother, your brother…
Then, she glared at Qiao He in exasperation. “Rascal, where did you read the Sage Book? You can’t bend the weak and move the mighty? I expected better from you.”
Qiao He said anxiously, “Sister, can you bear to see me die on the spot?”
Qiao He was speechless. Then he communicated a few important questions with his eyes.
“Did you betray your nephew?”
“How could I? If I sold my nephew, even if you could forgive me, my father wouldn’t.”
Qiao An was completely relieved.
Qiao He wheedled, “Sister, I took a beating. You have to nourish me.”
Qiao An looked coldly at Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran and said, “Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. Go and seek justice from whoever hit you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHuo Zhou remained silent.
Huo Xiaoran said gentlemanly, “Qiao An, I’ll do a full body checkup for your brother later. Don’t worry, I promise to return him to you unscathed.”
Qiao An said nothing as she acquiesced.
Qiao He turned to Xiao Yue for comfort. “Yueyue, it hurts.”
Xiao Yue glared at Huo Zhou angrily. “Cousin, why did you beat someone up without distinguishing between right and wrong? I’m going to tell Auntie that you beat up my boyfriend.”
Huo Zhou touched his nose in embarrassment.
Xiao Yue hugged Qiao He and cried and laughed. “Blackie, it’s alright. It’s alright. I’ll help you take revenge.”
Qiao He didn’t want to ruin their relationship, so he comforted her. “Yueyue, I’m fine. Haven’t you always complained that my skin is tight? Now it’s completely loosened by your two brothers. You can’t despise me anymore.”
“I won’t,” Xiao Yue said.
The birthday party ended badly.
As Qiao An left, she glanced at Qiao He and Xiao Yue and saw that their eyes were moving when they saw each other. They couldn’t hide their love. Qiao An had a plan.
She said to Huo Xiaoran, “I’ll leave my brother to you. Remember to return me a healthy person in a month.”
Huo Xiaoran did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Aren’t you staying to look after him?”
Qiao An said, “I don’t have time to take care of him.”
When Qiao He heard this, he immediately shouted, “Sister, have you been possessed? I’m your favorite brother. Am I not as important as your work?”
Qiao An covered his mouth and said, “I’m creating an opportunity for you to spend more time with Xiao Yue’s family,” she whispered. “Remember to behave yourself during this time.”
“How do I perform? With my hands and legs?” Qiao He shook his immobile hands and feet.
Qiao An said, “You like Xiao Yue, so you’ll probably be a live-in son-in-law in the future. Get used to it first.”
Qiao He immediately looked resistant.
